Monkey Music Amersham, Beaconsfield and the Chalfonts has been running for 12 years and we are wonderfully supported by our lovely families. We are three times HOOP Buckinghamshire winners 2019 for Best for Babies; Best for Toddlers AND Best Music, Drama and Dance class – as voted by our parents and carers. You couldn’t ask for more!

I have a degree in Welsh and Music and then spent 3 postgraduate years at the Royal Northern College of Music before performing for 10 years in the West End (The Phantom of the Opera), Jerry Springer the Opera and The Sound of Music at the London Palladium – playing the role of Sister Sophia for the whole two and a half year run!  Then Monkey Music came into my life!

Monkey Music is second to none – the curriculum is exceptional and varied, supporting all aspects of development – physical, linguistic, social and musical. After all these years I still love all the songs and it is a privilege to see the growth in confidence and little ones doing more and more.

With four separate classes and the learning tailored to the specific needs of that age-group, parents, nannies and carers enjoy the classes too, working with their children in an environment of smiles. We use only high quality resources - our musical instruments are instruments, rather than toys. They are robust and designed to stimulate and support the learning for each child. We love seeing babies and little ones enjoying music - a child is never too young to enjoy the steady beat. The 3-4 year olds also try out instruments of the orchestra!

Our little ones are so busy having fun that they don't even relaise they are learning!  Even the tiny little babies come to know that lovely things happen at Monkey Music.  One dad of a little boy in our Rock'n'Roll class (for babies from 12 weeks) said to me, "My little boy knows three car parks - the nursery - where he cries; the gym where he grizzles and Monkey Music - where he claps!"
